Care + Support

No One Hurts Alone

Our hope and daily pursuit is to be a church where no one hurts alone. Dozens of caring people—from pastors to volunteer nurses—lend a hand to make sure that each person at First Pres can receive the care he or she needs. No one is forgotten at a time of crisis. If you are in need of care, many resources are available to you.

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.” – 2 Corinthians 1:3–4

Holiday Blues Workshop

The holiday season is often filled with joy, celebration, and cherished traditions with loved ones. But for those experiencing life’s trials and losses, this time of year can also bring feelings of grief, loneliness, and despair. Whether you’re navigating the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a job, or your health, you don’t have to face the holidays alone. Join us for the Help for the Holiday Blues Workshop to discover practical ways to cope with difficult emotions, find hope amid life’s challenges, and rediscover joy during this special season.
